More for the record...
>From linux 2.6.36-rc4, Realtek's own r8712u has been cleaned up and put
in staging. Backported to my 2.6.32-25 this works fine for my rtl8192su,
and the firmware is built in. From their TODO file, the kernel people
plan to put that into the proper firmware system which maybe makes this
bug irrelevant, and any fix obsolete from 2.6.37.
